  1. I appreciate what headphones bring to listening to music I do but I have learned not to overly worry about the perfection of every single thing I listen to as I do like to enjoy what I'm listening to such as what's called music. The point to make is I'm not attacking your statement I'm just saying in all of this enjoy what you have to listen to don't get spoiled by high-end gear ultimately because you want to be able to listen to music anywhere you go and I feel totally unimpressed or uninterested. I love listening to music first and foremost everything else when calibrating or having the right "headphone" or the right set of "speakers" is secondary. Honestly without the joy of music half of the use set of these items would be pretty much useless outside of movies. I say this they both play in equally valuable role in the world be at on a personal level such as headphones especially in transit or a good set of speakers or leased a decent set of speakers set up the right way that suit your needs. They're both equally important
  2. Keep in mind though, there when you refer to sound smearing with speakers in an actual presentation of music depending on the recording whether it is live or not there is very much quite a bit of sound smearing no matter where you go to some fault it is in some aspects of playback of somethings reproduce through recording a level of sound smearing to start with. This is especially true with live performances remember whether it's headphones or speakers they're only as good as the best microphone and environments possibly used. You could've the best treated room for speakers you can have the best rated headphones but the recording itself sounds like crap or is remastered in a way that is not to the level of "perfection" it doesn't matter. Besides the counterargue smearing in some cases the acoustics of the soundtrack itself really are where the essence of the song why especially when people perform in venues like chapels something that has very unique acoustic properties that you cannot obtain anywhere else truly. I don't find that either way is wrong it is truly a matter of taste and really nobody's wrong or right in this matter. Like I said previously it's all about enjoying what you hearing enjoying the music it comes to the point when you worry about hearing fingers over a guitar more than actually enjoying the track you're listening to you have a problem. The problem is allowing yourself to be too worried about perfection and not enjoying what was originally turned it in the first place which was the music.
  3. I think there are some on this form that I have read that have legitimate reasoning but keep in mind I believe headphones and speakers for fulfill opposite sides of the gambit. Headphones are primarily going to give you a greater sense of detail like the delicacies of fingers playing strings on the guitar or the touches of pushing down on saxophone notes. In general this is the case mainly because even a normal bass may actually drown out those delicacies let alone the rest of the speakers playing what they play in a room treated or not. It also comes down to a level of logic and physics you have speakers posted over your ears with headphones that are either sealed or not and they are a lot closer than speakers will ever be to you unless if you're standing right in front of one. Which means sounds will have to travel far less to your ear than any speaker that's sounding off in your room let alone any of the sound bouncing off furniture floor ceiling etc. To me they haFill two very different things one with headphones you get high detail especially if you have a really good set up meeting good headphone DAC and so on. Speakers will also give you high detail with the loss of some even at a good level or even great level for that matter but consider this. consider like you're inside of an auditorium I will classify headphones being right near or even sitting in the position of the musician playing an instrument where you can hear the keys be impressed and so on with that high detail, speakers on the other hand I would consider more like if you're in the audience anywhere from first row all the way to mid row seating in the venue. It also depends on what an individual's preferences they like stronger base then obviously you're not going for accuracy but also I believe if you're gone for too much accuracy it gets to a point if you let it consume you he may actually lose the true enjoyment of all aspects of the song. Believe me I very much appreciate perfection as I strive to be a perfectionist and somethings but I do find it times it can and go for you and you can't forget to just enjoy what you're listening to and ultimately that's the most important thing to do whether it is by the great pair of headphones a great set of speakers and really that's what matters most. The real kicker of this is sound is as much about science as it is about feeling if we didn't care about proving scientific points we sure as hell wouldn't feel or care about what we listen to so much. My point is the jibber jabber back-and-forth about inaccuracies in all these different things everybody has an opinion and they live by their opinions whether a be in science or personal preference People make up their own rules set on how they do things in life whether it be listening to music or movies or anything else. For many years myself I have listened to speakers and value them and along the way my life changed where I wanted to listen to music laded night at a respectable volume so I got in the headphones as well they both have become very valuable to me and I respect how both of them reproduce music for my listening pleasure in the wrong way. I don't knock them any one way as being better or worse they just serve different purposes. Headphones will always be more personal ultimately that is going to be very hard for anybody to disapprove or even argue but speakers will always be able to make a crowd jump and dance even live presentations in a park point is there's not one that's any less valuable than the other in their own right they complete each other specifically from having the personal experience of a headphone to having a party with speakers there's no one wrong or right way to go about it and actually they should not be compared because they really don't perform anything the same way ultimately for their user set there are miles apart. They are pretty much a yin yang to each other.
